    Poor Man's Raise Dead- The Anti-Dying Band-aid

    maybe you could figure out a way to have something force you to stab yourself, thus making yourself "the intruder", right when you fall negative.

    Natural Attacks- Bite and Headbutt in the same round?

    You are quite correct in that a vampire monk could not use the drain attack (which is attached to the slam attack) as part of the flurry. however, you CAN use a flurry as the primary attack and use the slam as a secondary or off-hand attack - thus activating the drain for that attack only - so...

    Natural Attacks- Bite and Headbutt in the same round?

    the other example is the centaur with the sword and hoof strikes. however, the case described by larkas is a different case than what i said. when adding natural attacks as secondary attacks to a full attack routine, you cannot use a limb that has already been used with a weapon. from a real...

    Old Fashioned Hand Drawn Maps (with Tutorial)

    very nice. myself, i vary in how i draw them. when i am going by hand, i will use two pencils and a super fine point ink pen. i usually use a 2h or 4h pencil as one, and a 2b as the other. lots of lighting, mixed with sunlight if at all possible. i wind up with a three tone map when i am done...

    The Character-Player dichotomy, to metagame or not to metagame?

    i adjusted my gamerules, because i don't believe there should be an effect which can force someone to behave against their will. also, i play with people who are mature and will choose in character even if they know how it is going to turn out as a player. it's not something that can be...

    Inventing names is detrimental to my immersion

    we have a mix. one character is called bob. another was steve. now it is "steve, the sorcerer, grelnic"... who is actually a rogue. (don't ask.) and we have a number of more pseudo-fantasy names too. we just go with it. and make swimming jokes about the ranger, bob. ^^

    Optimizers, oh my!

    to paraphrase a chess master, "people who are not capable of playing a complex tactical and strategic game will remove pieces from the game until it is simplified to a level that they are capable of." personally, i've been playing for over 25 years. on one hand, i love the options and...

    Natural Attacks- Bite and Headbutt in the same round?

    you don't need flurry to do so. and yes, if you have the actual natural attacks, you can do both on a natural attack routine / full attack action.

    Marionnen's Musings: Skill Packages

    i've always allowed profession, craft, knowledge, and perform skills to perform "narrow" overlaps into other skills even if they don't have ranks. for example: professionals and craftsmen know how to appraise stuff specific to their field. so i allow them to use it to cover appraise if it...

    Marionnen's Musings: Cohorts and Henchmen and Hirelings, Oh My!

    leadership used to be automatic. i like it being an option, rather than an automatic thing. and it should be a resource. having to spend a precious resource (feat) can represent the off-scene efforts the character does to maintain that ability. you are gaining a substantial benefit, you should...
